filius Androchus, of Houses Derleth and Touccio
apprenticed in 377; declared mage in 392
A member of the second class of Bethelion, [T67b] chose not to accompany his classmates on the hunt for the rogue Siccoculus in 387, as he believed that he could far better serve that cause by working in the labs to help provide the rogue hunters with enchanted devices to aid them in their mission. Although he had not initially foreseen specializing in such enchantments, and was in no way constrained by the usual Touccian magical limitations, over the next few years he became quite adept at the arts of enchantment, and he chose to do his advanced research under Bethelion's senior Touccian lecturer, Androchus. When in 392 he was passed over for the Loriatship in favor of his classmate Vyridas, [T67b] was very deeply affronted, as he believed that anti-Touccian bias had come into play. Nonetheless, he chose to remain at Bethelion even after his graduation, hoping to affect change from the inside.
For nearly twenty years, [T67b] was a strong Elizabethan voice within Bethelion's faculty, and a vocal advocate for its Touccian students. In 407 he led the Touccian members of the faculty in threatening a boycott in response to what they perceived as a gross case of anti-Touccian bias regarding the selection of a Loriat. In 410, however, when the Board threatened to pass over promising Touccian students yet again in favor of a less (or at least equally) qualified candidate, he felt that he had Had Enough and tendered his resignation from the covenant in protest. Many of his colleagues thought that he was overreacting, but he found an unexpected ally in his erstwhile academic rival Vyridas, who agreed with him that both adjudications had been monstrously unjust and invited him to join in the founding of a new neo-Amicitian Covenant, Legatum Grigori, an invitation which [T67b] happily accepted. He is currently training his first student at Legatum Grigori, in Amicitian Fellowship alongside the students of Vyridas Loriatus and [A63c].
